Understanding Sic Bo on tompel
Sic Bo is a dice game where three dice roll inside a sealed shaker, and players bet on the outcome before each roll. On tompel, we broadcast rolls live with our dealer team; you place bets through our mobile app or browser interface, and the result is final once the dice settle and our system confirms the payout.
The game has been played in Asia for centuries, and we've adapted it to live-dealer format so you watch the action unfold in real time. Unlike slot games such as Sweet Bonanza or Fortune Tiger that use random algorithms, Sic Bo's outcome depends on physical dice motion—what we call a "live" element that many players find engaging.
Why Sic Bo on tompel
We host Sic Bo tables throughout the day so you can join a session whenever you prefer. Our dealers follow standard payout tables, and every roll is broadcast live so you see the dice motion directly.
Payment options on tompel include DANA, e-wallet, mobile banking, local payment, online payment, e-wallet, and bank transfers via mobile banking, local payment, online payment, or e-wallet. Withdrawals are processed subject to standard verification windows.
Bet types and rules
Sic Bo offers many bet variations, each with different odds and payout rates. We list all bets clearly on our tables so you know the exact payout before you place your chips.
- Small
- Betting the total of the three dice is between 4 and 10.
- Big
- Betting the total is between 11 and 17.
- Specific Triple
- Betting all three dice show the same number (e.g., three 5s).
- Pair
- Betting two of the three dice match a specific number.
- Single Number
- Betting a chosen number appears on one or more dice.
- Combination
- Betting two specific numbers appear on the dice (order irrelevant).
Each bet carries its own payout—Small and Big pay evenly if the roll matches, while Specific Triples pay much higher because rolling three identical numbers is rare. On tompel, we publish these payout rates so you compare bet types and choose which suits your style.

Sic Bo within our tournament schedule
We run Sic Bo as part of our daily and weekly tournament structure on tompel. Tournaments are scheduled play events where multiple players join the same table across a set time window (e.g., a morning session in Medan or an evening session in Bandung). During these scheduled events, we may offer additional table variety or special tournament rules that differ from our standard cash tables.
Our tournaments tie to calendar events—during Liga 1 seasons or around Idul Fitri, Idul Adha, Imlek, and Nyepi holidays, we often feature themed tournaments or extended play hours. These are advertised in advance on tompel so you plan your play time around your schedule.
Unlike guaranteed-jackpot slots (which we never claim), tournaments are social structures—you compete against other live players, the outcome depends on the dice, and payout rates are fixed by our published rules, not by a mystery pool.
Sic Bo versus slot games
- Live element: Sic Bo uses physical dice and a live dealer, so you see the action as it happens. Slots like Aviator or Sweet Bonanza use random-number generators and are faster-paced.
- Bet variety: Sic Bo offers many bet types on each roll. Slots offer fixed pay lines or bonus features within each spin.
- Social: On tompel, Sic Bo tables are multi-player; you see other bets and chat with players. Slots are typically solo sessions.
- Timing: Sic Bo rolls happen roughly every 30–60 seconds per round. Slot spins are instant.
- Payout transparency: Sic Bo payouts are deterministic—roll outcome directly maps to payout. Slot payouts depend on hidden algorithms (RTP rates), which we list but cannot predict roll-by-roll.
On tompel, we offer both so you choose based on your preference: live social play (Sic Bo), or instant solo spins (Aviator, Gates of Olympus, Mahjong Ways). Many players rotate between the two across a single session.
